Question

A dialect of this language that incorporates features from the Adamorobe and Francophone communities spread after the missionary Andrew Foster championed this language (10[1])in Nigeria and Ghana. Carolyn McCaskill found that greater syntactic repetition occurs in this language’s BSV dialect. This language’s morphemes are constrained by the symmetry and dominance conditions. (-5[1])Studies on this language’s high degree of (-5[1])iconicity, such as (10[1])by Nancy Frishberg, challenged the idea that language must (10[1])be arbitrary. CODAs (10[2])(“KOH-das”) who speak American English (10[2])are often (10[1])bilingual (10[1])in this language. (10[8])In (10[1])this language (10[4])used (10[1])at Gallaudet (“gal-uh-DET”) University, (10[4])movement (10[1])and handshape (10[2])contribute to meaning. (10[1])For 10 points, name this language developed among Deaf communities (10[1])in the US. ■END■
